If I Die Young by the Band Perry: Special Extended Edition!

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses,
I hope that it’s my neighbor’s,
And let my dog piss on them,
But also if you have time,
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
Preferably by Sara Bareilles
Or you could even play Bottle it Up
Man, that jam was pretty fucking sweet.

Uh oh, uh oh

Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother,
What’s that, fuck him, I didn’t forget my father…
She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh and
Life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby
‘Cause daddy’s not invited.

The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had, just enough time
To die in a rumble ala West Side Story.

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses,
Make my neighbor watch then
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
Maybe Elton John if you can’t find some Bareilles.

The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had, just enough time
To stab that Shark, Bernardo.

And I'll be wearing white, when I come into your kingdom
I'm as green as the ring on my little, cold finger, You
Could say I’m Green Lantern only just a little deader
But it sure felt nice when Ryan Reynold’s held my hand in three dimensions
Who would have thought forever could be severed by
Hate, you killed him with your hate, not with bullets, or with guns. Well now I can kill, too, because now I have hate!

So put on your vest Jets and I'll wear my pearls
What I never did is done

A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell them for a dollar
They're worth so much more after Rif’s a goner
And maybe then you'll hear Maria’s been singin'
Funny when Tony’s dead how people start listenin…
